Lounge Loves: A football book, new perfume, and more

Dealing with binge eating If you are aware that you don’t have the best relationship with food and turn to starch and sugar to deal with stress, sadness, hurt or anger, online resources and communities could help. One resource I discovered recently is Break Binge Eating, a website started by Jake Linardon, a senior research fellow at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. Dr Linardon, who also runs an Instagram account, approaches eating disorders with kindness, compassion, and, yes, good science, laying out the reason why we develop them and how to manage these in simple, practical terms. Just to hear how Yellow Submarine morphed from a sad John Lennon ballad to the romping Ringo Starr singalong we all know is worth the price of admission alone. Foer, a former editor of The New Republic magazine, presents an interchange between football and the new global economy in this 288-page travelogue that takes you from Bosnia to Brazil, shedding light on emotionally charged football rivalries, the influence of oligarchs, culture wars and hooliganism—using the beautiful game to look at issues that impact all of us.
